I am considering the Black/Bordeaux Red interior with GT Silver or Ice Grey Metallic Exterior. Outside of spec’ing extended leather options, are there other options that go well to customize/enhance the interior?

If I was spec’ing the black interior, I might spec Guards Red dials and seatbelts, but I suspect that would clash with Bordeaux. I’ve seen mixed reviews on the while dials and don’t think yellow or green work.

If I do black deviated stitching, I think I would effectively lose deviated stitching on the dash and upper doors. Just looking for ways to further customize it that would go well and make sense to do.

Thanks!

I have GT Silver paint and Black/Bordeaux leather. I added Carbon Fiber trim, extended leather, 930 pkg, silver belts and racetek visors/headliner. Wishing you an enjoyable time planning.

besides the 930 on the ss+ seats I don’t think you need to add anything.

I was gonna add red to the tach and sport chrono but I realized that would’ve been overkill on red

You get contrast stitching automatically with this interior.

i have the red sport Chrono dial on mine, it’s fine if you want to waste $430 and you like it….otherwise i would put that cash into leather sun visors as the factory vinyl ones look and feel cheap.

There’s enough red in the interior the seatbelts are better in black.

Hi @PanHopeful. I actually went through deciding this recently as well. I have a GT silver Targa on order.

The two tone black and Bordeaux leather is gorgeous in person - I actually liked it more than I thought I would, but don't think I could get used to that much red in the interior on a day-to-day basis. I have had Bordeaux red seatbelts in my Macan as an enhancement for several years now and like that nice pop of colour. Makes me smile.

Colour is of course very personal. I thought that the Guard's red stitching would be too bright for me personally, and that the Bordeaux stitching wouldn't show enough contrast with black leather. When you see it in person, there is definitely good contrast with Black leather. I decided to go extended black leather with the deviated stitching package in Bordeaux, with Bordeaux belts. Like you, I wondered about the tachometer but think it would be a mismatch with Bordeaux. Carmine could maybe work but is only available with the GTS package.

This site has been really helpful to look at pics of deviated stitching in Bordeaux. This post from @Vernin was helpful, and I found another elsewhere showing it on the steering column in leather.

I was planning to post some pics when my car comes because looking at interior pics on here has been really useful!

I have Carrera White Metallic paint and Black/Bordeaux leather. I added Carbon Fiber trim, extended leather, 930 pkg, deviated seat centers (ventilated), silver seat belts, leather sun visors, racetek headliner and the optional custom floor mats. Did not do the red on the tach or clock as it did not match the other red inside. Also have the Burmester sound system which matches the silver on the pedals, center console, doors etc. Really happy with the outcome.

Leather trim looks great with black bordeaux

The visors on this interior are black, so the visor leather option is black leather - does it visually look that different in leather given that its black? That extended door panel in leather package, I've read reviews where owners said that the lower door panel, which is an area subject to scuffing and soiling from shoes, the leather down there doesn't hold up to it over time - so although it would be nice to have the leather door handles, I am staying away from that package. Comments?

Interesting idea! Any additional pics? Thanks.

Wonderful! Really like this. Appreciate all the pics!

Thanks for the reply and info. Very helpful.

Leather always feels better than vinyl. On the sun visors, I heard a rumor that if ordered in leather the factory does not apply the airbag stickers, but someone who did pop for that option would have to confirm.

Motorin Mark

I had heard that rumor too. I was ordering the leather visors anyway because I had everything else inside in leather, but my hope was that the airbag stickers would be deleted, No such luck as can be seen on my pics number two and three above, those ugly stickers still come on the leather visors too. Oh well.

another thumbs up for GT Silver with black and bordeaux red (in 930 style).

Sorry I can't answer your first question as I have not seen the vinyl sun visors in person. I have the extended door panel in leather and after a full year no scuffing or any blemishes on mine but, two important things, I live in Florida so no snow or mud ever in my car and I am very careful both entering and exiting my car as is my wife, so for me this was a "must have" option to complete my interior that you see above.
